14. Does he ever deliberately go out of his way to be controversial?

  • On Fabio Cannavaro: “If Rio Ferdinand is worth £100,000 a week, then this guy is worth £100 million.. a day”
  • On Cristiano Ronaldo: “Ronaldo is a disgrace to the game. His petulance, temperament, throwing himself on the ground. It was a disgrace to professional football. This fella Ronaldo is a cod”
  • After Stan’s sacking: “The 10 man board of the FAI, the clowns, who dreamed up this appointment and the previous one and the one before that are now going to put the names in a hat (of next potential Ireland managers)… if you want to know where the next crisis is beginning from its beginning from here, they’re going to pick people who they’ve read about in newspapers who have a reputation or eminent.”
  • On Harry Kewell: “He’s fat and a clown, Bill, a fat clown for all to see.”
  • On Steven Gerrard: “Found out. A nothing player.”
